Homemaking fun, without the bother of a husband!

     How those girls enjoyed putting their nest in order! As Phil said, it was almost as good as getting married. You had all the fun of homemaking without the bother of a husband.                                                                                                                   -Anne of the Island

   Two posts in the same week! Who knows how long I'll be able to keep that up, however  yesterday was a busy day as we moved into our flat for the first time. Which upon doing this we discovered that: 1. It smelled like a smoker had lived there previously, which required a good airing out. This brought us upon problem number 2. We found out our boiler didn’t work, resulting in us not having any heat. As you may have guessed from the fact that I am writing this- I (we) did survive! Though just barely according to my 2 Texan roommates😋There are 4 of us including me in case anyone was curious- Kaitlyn, Avrie, Brielle, and me.

     Today we had a long and full day of orientation- we had 2 speakers

1.Introduction to the Oxford Academic System by Mr Mark Almond, Affiliated Faculty Member, History Faculty, University of Oxford; former lecturer in Modern History, Oriel College, University of Oxford, author of many books.

2. The Oxford Essay and Tutorial. Dr. Tudor Jones, Tutor in Politics, Mansfield College, Oxford University. Senior Lecturer in Politics, Coventry University.

     We then had lunch with our teacher for Worldviews (Kevin) at the George Street Social! Followed at 3pm by a walking tour of Oxford. All in all it was a very busy day, however tomorrow should be even busier as we will have 12 hours in London!

      Also to those who were wondering- here are some pictures of my apartment:
